Part 1: Rabash. Record 133. “It Is All Corrections.”

Reader: Shalom, we are reading in the writings of Rabash, volume 3, article number 133. “It Is All Corrections.” You can find our article and our study material in our sites and ask questions there. Here in the hall, whoever asks a question, stand up, hold the microphone close to your mouth, and speak loud and clear.

Reading article No. 133: (00:45) “It Is All Corrections.”

“All the illnesses that I had placed on Egypt, I will not place on you, for I the Lord am your healer” (Exodus 15:26).

Our sages ask, “If I do not place the illness, what is the need for a healer?” (Sanhedrin 101a).

We should interpret that since I am the healer, why should I place on you an illness if I must heal the illness? What do I gain by placing an illness? It must be as a punishment, and if I must heal the illness, what kind of punishment is it? It is as though I work for nothing.

For this reason, I will not place illness upon you, and what you think is illness, you are wrong about it. Rather, all the states you feel, if you attribute them to Me, are all corrections by which you will approach Me in Dvekut [adhesion].

Re-reading article No. 133: (02:41) “It Is All Corrections.”

“All the illnesses that I had placed on Egypt, I will not place on you, for I the Lord am your healer” (Exodus 15:26).

Our sages ask, “If I do not place the illness, what is the need for a healer?” (Sanhedrin 101a).

For this reason, I will not place illness upon you, and what you think is illness, you are wrong about it. Rather, all the states you feel, if you attribute them to Me, are all corrections by which you will approach Me in Dvekut [adhesion].

M. Laitman: That's actually the article, the short article. Questions?

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (04:37) A question from a friend from the Ten. It's all corrections. What does Rabash mean by the word corrections?

M. Laitman: We need only one thing, to correct the will to receive, in order to receive that exists in us. So, it will be corrected in order to bestow.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:31) Is there any meaning in us understanding what precise correction we need to do? Meaning if an illness comes?

M. Laitman: No, typically it's all in order to bestow, to turn ourselves into the direction of bestowal. That's really the essence of all the corrections.

Student: Meaning more closeness?

M. Laitman: To come closer to one another, embrace more, work together in mutual bestowal, yes. Until our work has to be in the direction of connection, mutual connection, and mutual support, and that's how we reach the purpose of creation.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (06:50) I feel from the article that Rabash is bringing us to a state of None Else Besides Him in the end. What I feel now is that there are all kinds of wars here, in Russia, and Ukraine, all over the land, and there are all kinds of floods and tsunamis. We're just saying that There's None Else Besides Him after something bad comes to us. Now we're here, connecting, eating together, uniting, and from the good states we're not saying that There's None Else Besides Him. I'm here, I can incorporate with my friends in the lesson, rising to the morning lesson. Why am I distancing from the state of None Else Besides Him when I feel inside this environment?

M. Laitman: I don't understand. If I'm a Ten, does that mean that I'm moving away from this None Else Besides Him?

Student: He says that usually, he remembers about None Else Besides Him when something bad comes. But when I'm in a good environment, with my friends, in the study, and we're advancing, connecting, it's like far at that time?

M. Laitman: So, why does he feel this way?

Student: Yes, how can he be in a state of None Else Besides Him always, in the good and the bad?

M. Laitman: We need to be drawn to There's None Else Besides Him from all the states. All the states to determine the Creator is One, Unique, and Unified, and There's None Else Besides Him in anything and everything. If it doesn't seem like this to us, then we have to do work in the group, in the Ten. Until I'm certain that I'm in the Creator's world, and There's None Else Besides Him, and only this is working on me, and I wish to reach only that. That's it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (09:59) Why does the Creator give us blows, illnesses, wars, and then he expects that we will connect and ask him for corrections? Like in a family, the parents are beating the kids, and then we have to go and ask for forgiveness and be good. Why not in a good way?

M. Laitman: The Creator doesn't come later to ask for forgiveness. He says from the beginning that what we feel is a blow. It's not a blow. It's actually healing. It's Providence. And everything is done out of love. That is arranged toward us as complete, absolute love.

Student: This is actually a blow in our vessels, these things?

M. Laitman: In our vessels, we feel the blow because we are not aimed at connection, love, at blessings toward the Creator. That's how it seems to us.

Student: So, we have to aim our way in order to be in his place?

M. Laitman: We have to tune our frequency.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (11:29) Rav, I'm very happy to be here and to see you and to see all of you. I'm sorry that I don't come a lot, but I accumulate these questions. Maybe they'll be more precise, and I don't have many. So, this question has been brewing like this for a very long time. But there's a focus on a new word, the hostages. There's the hostage circle that there's those connections that we're very sensitive to. And I'm talking without, God forbid, to do this or that about people in the street that I go to, these very lowly people. There was someone that used to lock her child, she was a junkie, and this child is kind of a hostage to that situation. Or an old man that can't wash himself, or any other person that has got personal issues from here or that, or just doesn't know what to ask for help. Why didn't we ever rise or cry out about these hostages? Not those are in the hostages, those are in the hostages altogether.

M. Laitman: What do we have to do?

Student: The question is, why is there such a justified uprise about the hostages that are hostages of the war? There's no upheaval about the whole hostage situation of all the people in our world, in our lives, who are locked at home as children, and can't get help. Are they also hostages to their life situations?

M. Laitman: We don't think they are in a state like the ones who are truly held hostage. A hostage is someone who is like in prison.

Student: A six-year-old that can't eat, or an old person that can't do his needs without help, and this one that was in the Holocaust and didn't get paid, and there's no one to talk to, and he's alone, and he's in bed, and no one will come and wipe him. Is he not a hostage also?

M. Laitman: He's also lacking means. He can't help himself. He's close to that person who is a hostage.

Student: I'm talking about a thought that was put upon us for me to think about another, everything we're learning about thinking about someone else. We kind of go by, even in people who are addicts, you can see some young person whose face has not been spoiled completely, but she's laying there, and no one comes, and no one helps, and no one's crying out for their pain. So, I'm asking, what's the difference between her? She doesn't have food, she doesn't have money, she's having to go through the sexual rape that the hostages went through. No one's saying anything, and no one's crying out about that?

M. Laitman: That's a problem of society.

Student: So, why do we measure it here this way more than that? Because there are people in such bad situations as the child that was in my apartment, I received a report from the neighbor that said, from time to time I give him an apple. Most of the time he's locked up. Maybe he doesn't have what to eat either. There are many children like this all around the world.

M. Laitman: You are correct. You're right. But I have to be more aware of those things. I don't think I'm capable of doing it myself, but I would support whatever is possible.

Student: Because there's so much pride in these yellow tags that we put on to mention that, oh, God forbid, I'm not trying to say that that's not a huge distress that the hostages are in, but there are thousands that are transparently in a horrible state in our surroundings?

M. Laitman: Yes, I agree with you. There's a deep wound that has to be healed here. We need more and more people to wake up and take care of organizations. Because one person cannot do a lot here.

Student: No, because if it's political, someone cares about it. If it's some citizen that has a problem or someone who was raped at home or whatever, they take drugs to get over it. They come to murders. They come to all kinds of things. And there's no outcry. There is no outcry. And suddenly there's an outcry. And there's also this place in the center of town where the hostages are. It's like, why is it, at the end of correction everyone's supposed to be together. Why not take advantage of the opportunity? It's like, maybe you're not the address to solve this, but why not take advantage of the situation and connect all the people who have been hurt, the people in a bad state? Because they're also in the same situation. Just the causality is what differentiates between this group and that group?

M. Laitman: I do take care of people. I do pull a person out of his indifference. And I hope that as a result of our actions, there will be less sorrow in the world. And over time, we'll see how well it's working.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (18:52) What is the role of gratitude? Or how does gratitude help in finding the love of the Creator in every correction He sends us?

M. Laitman: Gratitude, on our part, is a response that gets to the Creator and rearranges His attitude toward us. From the beginning and then we receive from the Creator a kind of attitude where He feels us, He understands us, He's with us hand in hand. He's going to correct all the problems in humanity, all the flaws.

Student: When I'm in gratitude when I give thanks, how does this connect me to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Because you understand that He is The Good That Does Good. And what you see before you in this world are exceptions. We're hard-pressed to justify. You have to understand that it's not exactly the way it appears to us. Together we'll connect, and we'll ask the Creator to care for all the wounds. All the open wounds in human society and in this way, we will reach correction.

Student: What role do the feelings play here?

M. Laitman: Feelings, meaning what we feel. Accordingly, we sort of turn ourselves in order to understand, to feel with our mind, to understand with our feeling, all the corrected forms we wish to see in a corrected human society. That's the role of feelings.

Student: I feel all those so-called negative feelings of envy, anger, etc. but I do want to be in gratitude.

M. Laitman: Okay, why is it bothering you? I feel all the negative emotions, and together with that, I'm in gratitude to the Creator who created the world and is turning it in the right, good direction. We understand that specifically by spreading out the evil and correcting it to good, we'll come to a state where we understand deeply the Creator's attitude toward the created beings and justify Him.

Student: Is it correct to say that gratitude is an awakening from below?

M. Laitman: Yes, it's our own awakening. Nevertheless, we also need to understand that the Creator is awakening those states.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (23:07) At the end of the illness we feel from physical pain, which is hospitalization, and all kinds of procedural matters. I want to ask how to relate correctly to a friend in the Ten that is sick, that is going through these processes with hospitalization and all kinds of corporeal issues. We want to help her. What correct attitude can we bring in the Ten so that she feels that we're interested in her, love her, and care for her? Without, or maybe yes, without being interested in how much and what, and all the details?

M. Laitman: We need to come closer to that friend who suffered this blow and be in contact with her, enter into her illness, her suffering. On the one hand, to do everything so she would feel less suffering. On the other hand, we also need to be considerate of her. Do everything in our power so she would not feel any more problems.

Student: Can I ask, how are we built from this? How does this build us?

M. Laitman: By connecting together and connecting to the Creator. We hasten our own healing from the ego because that is ultimately the source of all the problems. And that's how we come to the general correction.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): The topic was brought up. You said that I can connect to the world through the Ten. But now I heard that I need to enter into the sufferings that the friend goes through, the illness that she has, and feel what she's feeling. So, my question is how can I personally awaken myself to prayer? Because I disconnect and then I don't feel anything, If I see that something's changed, then I start to feel. Is there a certain time that we should devote to incorporation, to watching the news? I don't know how to awaken myself. Because you fall into indifference and forgetfulness. When you're working in the Ten you do everything, but emotionally?

M. Laitman: You need to talk about it in the Ten all the time. And then you have this sensitivity revealed through all those states.

Student: So, we should talk about us awakening from indifference?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (27:17) It's written in the last paragraph that the Creator doesn't punish. Is that correct?

M. Laitman: The question again.

Student: It's written that the Creator does not give punishment. And if we attribute everything to Him, then it will be that He is bringing us closer to Him, and that's corrections. But it's not a punishment.

M. Laitman: There's no punishment. There are no punishments. Correction is not punishment.

Student: Meaning He never punishes us?

M. Laitman: No. He constantly realigns us.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (28:30) Rav, with your permission, about the correction. When you help to heal, are you taking his correction away from Him? When you help someone, even in a team or when you have a certain profession of helping heal someone, how many times do I feel like there's a difference between the help that I'm helping outside and the help that I'm helping friends here with? Because here there's some place that understands that it's a correction. The question is, am I taking away His correction, or am I helping Him go through the correction?

M. Laitman: You're helping Him more.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (29:23) As one that looks at us from the side, less about myself, but about your life, do you feel like we're advancing?

M. Laitman: Of course. We're advancing. We're also getting healed. Soon we'll feel it in practice, each and every one and all of us together.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:16) It turns out that on one hand, it's a disturbance and bitterness. On the other hand, filling and the correction of the Creator seems like they're completely different vessels. So, what is the correction of the vessels?

M. Laitman: Correction of the vessels is when we've done all the work in those places where we experienced sorrow, torments, and blows. We felt gratitude in those vessels.

Student: But they're different vessels?

M. Laitman: Those are not different vessels.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (31:21) How to go through all the states in an aware manner?

M. Laitman: If we relate to the Creator, we ask Him, we want to approach Him and want to scrutinize what's happening with us, then we are operating correctly.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (31:51) Can I ask a question about the morning lesson?

M. Laitman: No.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (32:11) He writes, all the illness that you put in Egypt. Egypt is the illness and now when we come out of Egypt it's considered that we can correct that it's the Creator?

M. Laitman: When I ask of the Creator to heal me first to heal my ego. All the rest is secondary.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (32:58) The Kabbalists tell us that we're supposed to collect the sorrow of the public and to raise it up in prayer. What is the sorrow of the public and how do we collect it?

M. Laitman: We incorporate in him the sorrow of the public means the way the public is behaving inside of it. Each one with everyone, each one inside of himself, and each one with everyone and what do you feel as a result of that? How unhappy they are, how much they don't expect any good. Those things are the sorrow of the public and if we ask the Creator to heal that, eventually he brings us to recognition of evil, so where is this evil found that we should heal it? In this way, we will advance toward the truth.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (34:38) I have two questions. All the illness I put on Egypt; I shall not put upon you. What is, I’m your healer? Is He relating all these corrections only to those who exit Egypt and all the rest are actually illnesses without corrections?

M. Laitman: Yes and no. We have to relate to all of our illnesses as coming entirely from the way we behave with one another and all those illnesses we need to heal through the corrected mutual relationship.

Student: At the end of the article he writes that all the states that you feel if you attribute them to me, they are all corrections by which you will come closer to me in adhesion. The question is how this revelation that it's all Him, how does that bring him closer to Him why does it perform that act of bringing us closer?

M. Laitman: The more we turn to the Creator and ask for healing from Him, meaning something that helps us, it saves us.

Student: So what you're actually saying is that the dialogue I have with Him is what brings us closer?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (36:33) What's the connection between a person's ability to attribute the illness to the Creator and correction?

M. Laitman: It's a connection. The Creator is the one who organizes and arranges everything in the worst possible state as well and has no other cure but to turn to Him.

Student: Correction is to invert the intention in order to receive into in order to bestow if I understand correctly?

M. Laitman: That's beside the point, the correction first of all is to turn to the Creator and ask for correction.

Student: Okay, so a step backward. What's the correction that stands before me, before us?

M. Laitman: To turn to the Creator.

Student: Is it a very matter of attributing each and everything to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Not just to relate to Him but to demand corrections from Him.

Student: But he's not saying to demand he's saying if you attribute the illness to me, if you say it's not an illness but it came from me?

M. Laitman: Okay, that's like phase one. What are you doing with this knowledge?

Student: So, to exert again, I understand. I still want to be stubborn here but in what way is a person's efforts? He's exerting in all his ability to relate everything in his heart, in his mind, in his feeling in his mind, that it's The Good That Does Good, that comes from Him and he works only in that direction. In what does that work build in a person the quality of bestowal?

M. Laitman: What does it mean to receive from the Creator?

Student: Devkut. Adhesion.

M. Laitman: Adhesion is the quality of bestowal.

Student: Why, adhesion also includes within it the quality of reception that comes from Him?

M. Laitman: No, no, according to what are you adhered to the Creator? An equivalence of form. What are you with Him? Only in adhesion with the bestowing force.

Student: When the force of the Creator the One, Unique, and Unified is not inside the quality of reception? Doesn't the quality of reception also stem from it? When it comes to me and I identify a Pharaoh, I also need to say it's not a Pharaoh, there's no messenger, it's the Creator. Meaning adhesion includes within it also the bad inclination and also the good inclination of the concept of Devkut, no?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: So, that's why I'm saying, why exert in adhering to the Creator upon the bad, upon the good, the bitter, the sweet, in prayer and demand. Why does that build in a person love of others? What's the connection between our effort to make ourselves loving of others and not loving of ourselves to adhesion to the Creator?

M. Laitman: Everything comes according to the equivalence of form. Based on what do I approach the Creator? Based on my equivalence with him in which qualities, qualities of love and bestowal, that's it So everything ends here.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (40:25) To continue the words that were just said, if I need to be in equivalence, if the goal is equivalence of form, so I'm supposed to see everyone with love and to understand that awakening them is, first of all, to wait for there to be a deficiency and only that can be from the Creator but to want for them, to pray for them, but I personally, cannot awaken that only to love them and understand that it comes from Him.

M. Laitman: True.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (41:11) You said that we've really advanced lately. So, why are we nevertheless attributing the illness to the Creator if we've advanced? There's some new phenomenon this last year since the war is happening. I'm responsible but I'm not to blame. There's such a thing that's happened in this country? I'm responsible but I'm not to blame. What kind of state is that?

M. Laitman: I don’t know, why are you asking me?

Student: How did we advance? How can we relate to the Creator that he's the illness? What is this thing?

M. Laitman: No, the Creator is not the illness.

Student: We attribute the illness to Him.

M. Laitman: No No, his actions, some of his actions we also ascribe the state of illness.

Student: So, why if He’s only healing us then why do we attribute the illness to him?

M. Laitman: Because those illnesses are within the framework of healing us.

Student: The illness is part of the correction. Is it all in our attitude towards ourselves?

M. Laitman: It's written about that.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (42:31) Actually, the only illness he's talking about here is the lack of desire to bestow. Meaning adhesion is where I remember the Creator put this in me. He will give the desire to bestow and that will be the correction eventually.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (43:08) Two friends sent questions. First question: Do we need to aspire to the same level of demand and request in small problems as in big problems? Do we need to relate to every little pain every big one?

M. Laitman: No, no. The Creator makes plenty of discernments inside us and we have to work accordingly.

Student: I have a question from another friend. How can I support friends who have difficulty in justifying?

M. Laitman: Talk to them. A person has to justify the force that operates on him and it's on the way to equivalence of form with the Creator.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (44:17) When a person feels lack of confidence in the Ten distancing, is it his problem or the Ten?

M. Laitman: Corrections.

Student: What is it?

M. Laitman: Disease and illnesses, they're never corrections.

Student: When he feels rejected by the Ten, has a lack of confidence, doesn't want?

M. Laitman: So, what's good and healthy here?

Student: What does a person need to do?

M. Laitman: He has to do all kinds of actions in order to rise above the state of illness and come to correction.

Student: To ask the Creator, to ask the Ten for help.

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, all kinds of things like that.

Student: Rav, when corrections repeat themselves, it's like the same lady with a different hairdo.

M. Laitman: It doesn't matter.

Student: What is he missing in his work?

M. Laitman: It's possible he didn't complete the work with the corrections the last time. We often have recurring illnesses.

Student: And when I feel rejection from the Ten, distancing, how to make that feeling of rejection to the feeling of in order to bestow?

M. Laitman: Think about it. Think about it long and hard, deep. And then you'll feel how much it's working.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (45:54) If a person receives a blow and understands that it's a correction in his mind. He understands that there's room for correction here. He needs to adhere to the Ten and understand that there's nothing else besides him. But from this whole thing, there's rejection. Rejection from the Creator. There's anger, there's an unwillingness to be connected to Him. And despite all of that, to still understand, in his mind, that at the moment, the most important thing is to be connected to the Ten and to listen to the lessons. But still, in the internality, there's great rejection. What can we do in such a situation?

M. Laitman: To keep going.

Student: What does that mean?

M. Laitman: Keep going until this rejection lets go of him and he enters into better thoughts.

Student: From Lo Lishma to Lishma?

M. Laitman: Well.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (47:12) How does all this suffering that friends talked about, that the society is experiencing, how will they know that? I'm sorry. I'm kind of emotional. The whole suffering that our society goes through, that friends mentioned, that actually what we have to do is to turn to the Creator. By turning to the Creator, then what will that do? What will that do to the society?

M. Laitman: First of all, crystallization.

Student: Inside the society?

M. Laitman: Yes, inside society, and then the prayer itself, the prayer of many. Everyone turns together to the Creator. They identify with the state. They say that this state came to them from one force that is working on them and is pulling them towards something. They accept many spiritual conditions here. Creator, a good force that does good, that is connecting them, that is pulling them, and so on and so forth and, in this way, we advance.

Student: We who are on this path learning, we learn that we have to turn to the Creator, and we know this. But people on the outside, how will we make it so that people on the outside will know? How will this happen so that people on the outside will know that this is all, the Creator does this, and how will this happen?

M. Laitman: It will happen when all of us participate in dissemination, in explanation. This way we come to a state where everyone understands where they are, who is running them, who is managing them. There is no compromise here. There can be no compromise here. We must continue.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (49:48) You said exactly what I thought, dissemination. In your opinion, to what degree do we have to do now in order to raise the dissemination to something new? Because I feel that, of course, also I'm to blame, but that it's entered even more into this state of dormancy, the whole dissemination. It's not moving forward, but entering inwards, that all these things that we're hearing here are not penetrating those walls. What state do we have to come to in dissemination, and how can we reach this creativity, so that people will want to cooperate and create more creative new things?

The world is changing. As far as the way I'm observing things, the tools we used before are not working anymore. Or maybe it's the other way. The more primitive tools worked better, so where we went to people's homes and asked for people to go with us to all kinds of projects. It's more. But at the moment, it seems like it's some kind of sleeping beauty situation. Whoever comes here, we're in the convention, we're enjoying this, but we can't reach the new degree of dissemination.

M. Laitman: Yes, that is true. We have no choice. We have to connect and push forward and cry out to the general public to join us as much as possible, and we'll pull the Creator down from above toward us. We have to do that.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (51:37) I wanted to scrutinize the corrections. We're talking a lot about the corrections here. What is a correction? What's to demand a correction?

M. Laitman: The correction is, instead of the will to receive that controls it, we're bringing in the will to bestow to control it.

Student: Could we ask for a correction for someone else?

M. Laitman: Yes, It's called prayer.

Student: And who corrects here? I or Him?

M. Laitman: The Creator always corrects.

Student: No, who receives the correction? The fact that I'm asking, or the fact that I saw that I'm probably broken also?

M. Laitman: That influences both.

Student: And about someone who cannot justify the Creator, someone asked here. And you said that we have to talk to her. Does that mean that we simply need to pray for her to see the correction? Or where here does the matter of correction enter?

M. Laitman: We have to ask the Creator to correct. To make corrections because we're not responsible for the person, for the other. And then we'll advance, we'll come closer, we'll probably make a correction together.

Student: What is correction together?

M. Laitman: You're going down to his level, you embrace him, and you rise up together with him. As if saving someone from drowning.

Student: And how can we do this in more than two, or in the Ten?

M. Laitman: The same. It’s the same. Each one can feel it. Because it's passing through the Creator, nevertheless.

Student: How can we feel that the correction took place? Because that state can repeat itself several times for correction?

M. Laitman: We can feel that what we're asking for is happening by feeling the Creator coming closer to them. The Creator is coming closer to them according to our request.

Student: Are there lighter corrections and heavier corrections?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Can the light corrections also be corrected at once?

M. Laitman: I don't know. Sometimes it's the other way around. With the heavy vessels, you can attract them, pull them, and correct them. And the lighter vessels, seemingly, you cannot. They slip between your fingers, so to speak.

Student: Sometimes I feel like heavy vessels come, and the feelings are very deep, and it's hard to scrutinize what to correct here.

M. Laitman: Yes. It's the correct feeling.

Student: What to do with that? How to come out of that? How to demand the correction here?

M. Laitman: No, not come out of it. To continue more and more, deeper, and you'll begin to see a new path.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (55:33) A question that several friends asked and asked us to ask. There are friends that naturally active dissemination connects them more. They receive the greatness of their friends from that, the importance of the goal. When we go to physically disseminate, and especially women, many times. What do we do with that drive for physical action and for dissemination, especially in our current state?

M. Laitman: Physical action is always appreciated and always blessed.

Student: So, to do if we want?

M. Laitman: Of course, of course.

Student: Sometimes a person really makes an effort and wants to be like a good boy, to do what is needed, and then he gets a disconnection or a fall or just doesn't manage to do what he means. So, what is it, also a kind of illness that the Creator puts upon him for correction? How do we relate to that?

M. Laitman: There are all kinds of states where we need to use them as much as possible today, and the rest we'll leave for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow.

Student: To what extent does a person need to feel that it all depends on him and his efforts, or say it depends on the Creator and how much He will give to me?

M. Laitman: Yes, we depend on both.

Student: Meaning, we're not free from giving the 100% that we have to give always.

M. Laitman: Of course, of course.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (57:28) A person that suffers from physical pains and is trying to maximally be in the lessons, to come here even sometimes once or twice, and making great efforts. What would you recommend for this person to scrutinize from the Creator? Correction, make it easier for him, what?

M. Laitman: What he feels that hurts him.

Student: Physical pain all the time.

M. Laitman: Physical pain, you can ask for them, on them, but there's something more internal.

Student: So I understand that there's something more internal. The question is, can he truly ask the Creator, why are you giving me these blows? Would you advise this person that?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: So how to approach it?

M. Laitman: It brings him to a state where he admonishes the Creator.

Student: Yes, it's hard for him to justify in those states.

M. Laitman: To justify something else.

Student: When you're in pain and you feel like you're doing, and you still are constantly inside that.

M. Laitman: If he exerts to nevertheless justify the Creator, and be in gratitude toward him, he will help himself greatly.

Student: So simply continue and make corrections with the Creator maximally?

M. Laitman: Let it be so. I said much more.

Student: I want a little bit more, if it's possible, about this.

M. Laitman: Here I need to turn to the Creator and scrutinize what he has to do.

Question (Women PT 23): (59:38) If we reveal separation in the Ten between a few friends, and we're not working with it directly, because we're afraid it's going to blow up, are we missing out on the correction here?

M. Laitman: No.

Student: We don't have to work overtly?

M. Laitman: We don't have to.

Student: Are there states where we have to let it pass, and some that don't, do more inner work?

M. Laitman: They themselves will feel it. Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:00:24) A person can exert for years to justify the Creator, but alone he has no chance. I feel in the Ten, when we mention the Creator, and give gratitude to the Creator, before the friends there's a great change, great power. I feel like I'm being healed through the friends. What is that special power that's in the Ten that truly changes a person?

M. Laitman: It's the same force that's connected to the Creator, but he demands to enforce him on behalf of a person.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:01:25). I want to make the connection between dissemination and spiritual work, inner work. The soldiers who are fighting right now, they must connect. And also, the clips where they pray, they put on the filling, they're looking for the Creator, but really any person who is afraid for his life, prays. Is this the most advanced group, those who suffer? Those who came here also came as a result of suffering?

M. Laitman: Lo Lishma and Lishma you said redundantly it's not correct altogether. But all that you said before that, you said correctly. That you have to be more connected within to succeed, to draw your friends to you so that they with all their might will unite with you. And then you'll succeed.

Question (Woman French): (01:03:36) A friend who receives an illness is in the hospital, how can she participate in an action of correction of the friends? On the one hand, she has to rest, on the other hand, she needs to participate in our framework. How can she participate in the correction?

M. Laitman: Create such conditions for her that she can participate with us. That’s it.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:04:39) They ask, the source of all the illnesses is the will to receive. So, why does it say that the Creator doesn't give the illness if He is the one who created us with this will to receive?

M. Laitman: He doesn't truly disclose illnesses, but just awakens us, so that we, from these signs, will go towards the connection with Him. That's actually for us to emerge towards correction with Him.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:05:42) In the degrees of spirituality that we wish to climb, are we supposed to disconnect the feelings of the body in the correction? For example, Rav Akiva, he suffered great physical torments from the Romans, by the hands of the Romans. Do you wish to learn how to disconnect it, or do we have to constantly connect these worlds?

M. Laitman: I don't think we have the understanding or opportunity to talk about states like Rav Akiva, even though these are wars and all the problems of our people. It seems to me that it's completely not similar.

Student: How to bring it down to our level, a person who suffers physical torments, will he find the cure, the correction, the relief? We say that he finds it in the connection with the Creator, but he won't find the physical correction necessarily. He might continue?

M. Laitman: No, one will find physical correction. He will find.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:07:09) What makes a person justify the Creator when He beats him? What causes a person to justify the Creator when He is beating him?

M. Laitman: Because a person feels, in all the sufferings that come to him, the hands of the Creator, and cannot say that it comes from the force of evil. He rather feels that it's the Creator who stabilizes him in the correct way.

Student: And connecting to Him more, justifying Him, holding Him in that moment, is that what heals him?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (01:08:08) We say that, relative to the work, before a person works in, love of friends, and bestowing contentment to the Creator, all those things, before you work in those things, do you even get any suffering?

M. Laitman: Well, the person is suffering. Nevertheless, even little children are.

Student: I'm asking relative to spiritual work. Does one suffer in spiritual work before we work in order to reach that goal?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: It’s clear what is the advice from the article, related to the Creator, with the help of society and everything. The question is now, how to work in order to grow this deficiency, to become more aware of what we need to correct, or to identify what needs correction, how to work relative to that?

M. Laitman: For a person's work, he should check himself, and be with a finger on the pulse, at all times.

Student: Yes, but a finger on the pulse is to just identify things passively. I want to be active in creating the vessel, the deficiency that is not corrected, in order to ask the Creator for help.

M. Laitman: Yes, that's what we start with, nevertheless.

Student: How to do it without suffering, to proceed with our work?

M. Laitman: It doesn't seem to me that you can do this without suffering. It just depends what you mean when you say suffering.

Student: It's a matter of attention?

M. Laitman: Also.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:10:13) When a friend is going through states, and in the last of her remaining power, she turns to the Ten for support. Instead of help she receives greater rejection, repulsion, and from that she feels she can only cry. She feels weak, lonely. What should I do? What is that state? Maybe it's also an illness?

M. Laitman: She needs to consult the friends. She needs to consult with the friends and to say, and to do what they recommend.

Student: I will try.

M. Laitman: Try first of all.

M. Laitman: Okay? That's it. I'm finished. I have from the whole world still questions.

Question (Turkiye 5): (01:11:56) If the Creator is giving a person corporeal material blows to heal a person, and a friend is going through a bad physical state, and we are praying for her to overcome, does it serve the good in her, or the ego, or the bad in her?

M. Laitman: Repeat the question.

Student: We're praying for a friend who's going through a difficult physical state. Does it serve the good in her, her spiritual advancement, or her ego?

M. Laitman: It depends how you pray. Are you praying for her to have more money? If you pray correctly, she receives a true, great gift.

Question (Belarus): (01:13:11) Corporeal sufferings are a result of external influences, and suffering from not seeing any meaning to life and she's like a hamster running around without any satisfaction. Are those two types of suffering identical as far as the Creator is concerned?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women Moscow 8): (01:14:12) Now, during the illness, am I selfless love?

M. Laitman: The answer is only with the help of friends. If they support you, you'll be able to rise above your situation with love, and adhesion to the Creator, and to feel a similar attitude from him.

Question (Women Heb 2): (01:14:50) Sometimes sorrow, or the stress of corporeality, I feel like if the Creator wants to solve those problems, I won't be available to work on spirituality. So, should I scrutinize what is the cause of these distresses, or just to turn to the Creator with a spontaneous prayer?

M. Laitman: Turn to the Creator. Spontaneously or not, it's not important, but constantly be in prayer towards the Creator.

Student: And it's not important to scrutinize where it came from?

M. Laitman: Later. First, the appeal to the Creator.

Question (Kiev): (01:16:05) He writes in Egypt that these are all corrections. So, who is me if I don't put it upon you.

M. Laitman: You, upon you.

Student: He's sending all those so that we would respond?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: If you pray to the Creator to help the world and He sends him diseases?

M. Laitman: Explain to him it’s all the game of the Creator with us, with our ego.

Question (Women MAK 25): (01:16:58) Tell me, please. During the suffering, the torment, when we receive various illnesses, we have to remember that there's no illnesses, no punishments, only corrections. It's a great effort. What kind of change do we need to have in our feelings to understand that it's all corrections?

M. Laitman: How to learn to do that?

Student: Yes, how to learn and what is the feeling we need to have.

M. Laitman: The whole group needs to be more or less in that intention. If someone goes out of this framework, we don't let him run away too far.

Student: It's both mental and emotional, this effort?

M. Laitman: Yes, emotional.

M. Laitman: Okay, what else will I do with you guys here? Well?

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:18:31) Again, if we look at dissemination from the inner work specifically for this group of soldiers, what message would you phrase for them shortly?

M. Laitman: To all hold on together to the Creator. That's it.

Student: When they pray, they actually do this attempt. What is lacking? Or they say this is their work.

M. Laitman: Yes, and that too.

M. Laiman: That's the conclusion. What else do we have before us? What special questions do you think there are?

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:19:32) In the women's Kli, we meet almost every evening to pray. Is it okay for us to dedicate a prayer not just for ourselves in the Bnei Baruch, but to pray for our enemies as well? Because it comes to my attention that most of our prayers is about us, and the Creator is also interested in healing the enemies. Would that help us to heal humanity as a whole, while we are going through this correction?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:20:46) Question from a friend. Is the upper Providence correcting the reaction of a person? Where, as he advances on the path his attitude toward the blow changes, and what he feels becomes sweeter?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Or does the blow disappear, or does the attitude change?

M. Laitman: The attitude.

Student: We learn that we always remain in the will to receive, in reception, and deficiency. So, what does it mean to ask for the desire to bestow, considering the fact that we are always in reception?

M. Laitman: Well, there is nevertheless, a difference between how people relate to themselves, to others. Yes. There is a difference.

Student: I can't understand it. I remember equivalence of form is adhesion in the bestowing force. Does that mean we attain the desire to bestow? Or how does that make us a bestower? Because this is adhesion in the bestowing force.

M. Laitman: Well, of course. And this brings you the quality of bestowal.

Student: How can I remain in reception when he is passing to me the force of bestowal?

M. Laitman: It wasn't brought to you yet. Where did you ever feel this?

Student: No, I can't understand it logically.

M. Laitman: There is no logic here. The logic is in the ground, on the field.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:23:13) Maybe an emotional question. Feeling a great deal of incorporation in the sorrow of the public, from all directions. My personal feeling is that when it comes to us, we know more or less where we are, and what to ask. The Ten helps the texts and the lessons. We are on a path where we are collecting the medicine on a certain path because we have a goal. But when we incorporate in the sorrow of the public, that's where I get lost. If I don't place an emotional barrier, I feel like I don't know how to justify the Creator.

M. Laitman: That's correct. And you found the correct action. Where you disconnect from the emotion. You need to first incorporate with the public, to know where they are, what they are, what's with them, where they face, and then gradually start working with it in order to reveal. In order to disclose to them what the goal needs to be, what form there needs to be in the society, etc.

Student: And if you can't talk to them about it, what is the inner work that we can do when we, nevertheless, incorporate with them when we work, with the families, whatever form? What is the inner work when incorporated with the sorrow of the public?

M. Laitman: Our internal work is just to explain to the public what the source of our suffering is. What our source of suffering is. And to draw them together with us towards the solution of this suffering. I'm certain that we are coming closer to this, but the truth is that we could do it faster.

Student: How?

M. Laitman: How? For the public to know what the source of the suffering is and what the solution is.

Student: The public that is suffering now can hear what is the source of the suffering?

M. Laitman: Yes. It can.

Question (W Petah Tikva Center): (01:26:30) I have a question from a friend. I think of the Creator all the time to give Him contentment. When I eat, when I'm with the family, all sorts of things, and from that, as a result of that thought, I lose all the pleasures. Because she wants to give contentment to the Creator all the time. So what to do? What kind of state is that?

M. Laitman: What to do? She needs to be closer to the Creator and then she will feel those same pleasures that influence everyone. That's it. It's called to be more similar to the Creator. That's called to come closer to the Creator. Being more like the Creator is called to be more and more towards love for everyone. Then she will begin to feel how the love is received from all sides, how that fills her life, her world. That's it.

M. Laitman: Okay. Well, it’s late. So we're done. I'm sorry. Well, that's what we have.

Reader: Thank you, Rav, and to the World Kli. We have announcements before ending with a song.

Song: (01:28:48)
